Aella was, as usual, humming to herself as she braided the hair between her horse’s ears. So far, she had successfully braided nearly the entire mane, starting at the bottom. Occasionally, without seeming to notice she was doing it, the girl would rub a hand on her head like she had a headache.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBMqhV3r4w
Luna had come out of cat form and was on Neoma’s horse, watching Aella braid. She blinked, mimicking her hand a few times, then turned to Neoma, poking her and repeating the motion. The other girl rolled her eyes. Aella looked over at them and grinned. “I can show you how to do it properly later, if you want,” she offered.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KKfUwcpzl
Luna grinned and nodded. “Please?!”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVXAFOAWVV
”It’s a plan!~” She glanced back to her horse, then swayed a moment, seeming to space out, eyes unfocused.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6BusJuLdM
Neoma studied her for a few seconds, tilting her head. “You okay there?”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OF6I0zWDB
She blinked and looked back over at Neoma. “Hmm? Yep, I’m alright.~” she said, returning to her normal cheery self.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQsbcJFUYR
“Ah, okay.” She didn’t dig into it, looking ahead, then pointing.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR8qXiQNxA
“Are we at a town finally?” Aella asked excitedly, bouncing in the saddle and making her horse snort and toss its head. Neoma nodded slowly, keeping her eyes on the town ahead.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XH4uT4LRE
“Oh, yay~” She settled back into her saddle, but still looked impatient to get there.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6Mb057hSP
Neoma kicked the horse lightly to make it go faster, looking behind her to see if Aella followed. The blonde nudged her horse so it was even with Neoma’s, and she smirked, mumbling, “Brat.” She jolted her horse even farther. Aella started grinning, speeding up her horse again.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDGTNmBXNm
The two continued to urge the creatures faster. Neoma watched the town grow bigger and taller, the smell of sea salt burning her nose. Aella took a deep breath, her grin widening even further. Luna itched her nose at the scent, moving her hand over her nose.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesXHvJkvtv
Aella winced again suddenly, slowing down. Neoma looked back at her, pulling back to have her horse next to hers.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNYpZcJBaT
Her eyes focused again after a second, and she shook her head. “My head hurts.” Neoma paused, grabbing a rope from the supplies and tying it on both mounts’ necks.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBT5WKgVkt
Aella gave her a curious look. “What’s that for?”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIQxG4xxX6
”So if you fall off, the horse won’t drag you.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kfl3oW398
“That would hurt.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8zvPqTYb2
“Yes, it would.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdYlWA4Iwu
Aella hummed, looking ahead.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhErktmIrVV
794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxphzKFZuVl
794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzQOMZhQ8J
794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVZFZvJzJ0
Neoma pulled a bit on the hood of her cloak, keeping out the light and the sight of anyone, no longer riding on her horse. Aella had dismounted as well, now walking with a bright smile. Neoma looked at the ground as she walked, and Luna was walking next to Aella, blabbering on about the forest around her home. The girl appeared to be listening quite well, aside from the occasional wince.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQWcgEvj3i
“So, there’s a ton of animals and they’re all good for eating! But some of them are fast and hard to catch, and some are slower and even beginning hunters can catch them! And and…. oh, there’re more villages on the island, and they’re always fighting, and it wasn’t fun!” She purred a bit at that.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp97rmaw4gz
Wow.~ Did your village fight much, or were they nice and peaceful?” she asked curiously.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDPhDu0na9
“Uh, it depends!” She thought for a moment, then grinned. Aella tilted her head questioningly. “We were like a family I guess, but they didn’t like the other villages…”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1IVAIM21J
”Oh…” She absentmindedly rubbed her forehead again, as she’d been doing increasingly often. Luna giggled and nodded, continuously rambling about her home. Before long, Aella suddenly stumbled to a halt with a pained expression.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXssdZGw4TK
Luna jumped a bit, pushing her arms out to hold her up. “Are you alright!?”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrza8CRZCx
“Oww… My head really hurts now,” she said a bit distantly. “And the ring burns.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtdzC2GsSY
Neoma moved over, grabbing her wrist. “Come on.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwiItdUfUt
“Mm..” Aella let Neoma lead her without protest.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6IyYhIODi
She moved her into the shade, pressing a hand to her forehead. “How do you feel?”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VYauhmKOz
“Not good…” She closed her eyes, tipping her head back a bit. “Ow. Cináed’s upset.” Neoma walked over the horse, pulling out a fruit for the girl. She reached for it, but dropped it almost immediately with a wince, so Neoma just sat next to her, one of the shadows holding up the fruit. Luna came over, sitting down as well.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzXsRuzAP3
Without warning, the girl flinched and went stiff, then started tearing at her slender hand. Neoma jumped up, taking a few paces back. “Damn it,” she growled, and glared up at them. “I hate you. I really, really hate you.” As she spoke, the blue of her eyes seemed to leach out, leaving a bright, metallic silver.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg1GFjtc0v
Luna looked a bit hurt, but Neoma just… shrugged. “So, the shifter’s breaking through.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sa9plNU2f
”What is this thing?” Cináed demanded. He had already shifted out of Aella’s form - not into the appearance they’d first seen him with, but a pale teenager with auburn hair. His irises remained their unnaturally bright color. Luna jumped back, her feet and hands dragging against the ground. 794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hh7VkckeD
"A silver ring," the elemental answered.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVHRQYyWyd
“And why can’t I take it off?” he growled.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsLbmaWdo4
She rose one of the shadows from the ground. “Reasons.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9STIUgbx7V
”I want a straight answer.” His shoulders tensed up.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDFKrOeOXG
” Well that sucks, because you aren’t getting one.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHybhE1Q4T
“And why’s that?”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbluswlhKi
”Because, screw you. That’s why.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFX6y0eqv2
”Great response,” he muttered. “Witty.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNZXFm5upY
Luna licked her lips once or twice, her eyes darting from Neoma to the other boy - Cináed or something - then went back to ignoring the fight, sniffing at the air (it smelled weird in the city, like trash and things) and scratching her nails to the ground.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7EDrq0IJP
Neoma crossed her arms. “I could come up with something better, but I don’t believe you deserve any brilliant backsass from me.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqfB1L8BEs
He rolled his eyes at her. “You were a lot less of a bitch in Spain.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0AhtTGNOT
“‘Till I found out you possessed some girl’s body,” Neoma grumbled, the shadow going liquid-like and plopping to the ground.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZIqgBZQqv
“What do you care about some random human?”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiIKmgf0cl
“More like I don’t like the thing in her.” Suddenly her hands flipped palm up, causing shadows to pin his hands to the ground in almost a basket-like weave.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcm1wSvkUp
”You seemed fine with shapeshifters when I first told you.” He snarled, trying to pull back.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnNakLZ026
“Sure, I’m fine with the species in general, but most don’t have to possess people.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ5Nv5d5cQ
“Most,” Cináed muttered. This seemed to tick her off, and she pulled out the knife from before and pushed it near his neck. He leaned back. “Don’t.” She poked him with the tip, leaving a red mark, then returned it to its sheath. He hissed, his hands twitching.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh3vDmnCh9
Luna tilted her head. “Neoma, that’s rude.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPJ3iuHPq5
”S’ also rude to be an ass, but this guy’s first class in that.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiDBdC6ufj
Cináed growled again, trying to get free of the shadows. However, the shadows solidified as they got pulled, starting almost like rope. The more he pulled, the more they changed to a metallic feel. ”Damn it..” He stopped yanking on them, faint electrical sparks dancing across his hands in his irritation.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WPKoG4FrL
Meanwhile, Neoma continued the petty argument with Luna, almost forgetting about the shifter before looking back at him and going, “Oh, right.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkzCv6Z4aO
”So what the hell are you going to do, just sit here and let me be trapped all day?”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPKvGokRk0
”Shut up, I’m thinking.” She crossed her arms, looking at the shadows for a few seconds.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwxTf31dB6
”Impressive,” he muttered.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJhriPtPbL
”Screw yourself.” She glanced at him, then back to the shadows. “Yeah, we aren’t letting you go wander free.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcOYWN3Bch
”And why not?” he said sourly.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1Z7Uo1f30
”You have my ring~” She teased, then held her hands up. “And I can’t take it off you.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnILDUzKf2g
”… seriously. Then who CAN take it off!?”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxSrTgGfxk
“Aella”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuAaY9cTrz
”FanTAStic. Fucking great.” He glared daggers at her. “So then what’re you gonna do with me, huh?”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXd2vx5Hltd
Luna finally piped up. “Well, there’s the chance that: A. you pretty much leave her body by letting her take off the ring and then going, or B… um… we’re stuck with you!”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa8iWyoVkQ
”Ah, no.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghLgGrN9tk
“… Then we’re stuck with you!!” Luna grinned, jumping up from her sitting position.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV6gEhIKsq
“… for how long, exactly?” 794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReFlnJ2DI7
“Who knows?” Neoma smirked. “But the moment you try to run, let’s see how hot that silver gets.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCjKYHj3xB
He growled under his breath. “If I’m stuck with you, at least tell me what this ring is meant for.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvuHXW7hhW
“Keep you in control.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PHhLbRSvN
”I doubt this was custom-made.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x2YBmApYz
“Not for you, but it’s a silver ring, and I guess it helps.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1z4W2sD11
”Better hope it doesn’t burn my finger off,” he grumbled. Sure enough, the skin around the ring was dark red.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz3VkPFOJa
”It might”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS9EtLZaol
”You’ve gotta be kidding,” he growled. He attempted to pull it off again, hard enough that the nails of his other hand left bloody grooves on his light skin.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacAHuxoSJ5
“Hey now, dont want to scar yoursefl”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCtoIyhEaw
“Shapeshifters don’t scar,” he grumbled.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthUQ1wV2lA
”Right, right.” She stepped up, not releasing his hands.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwjNCynO2C
Cinaed automatically leaned back from her again. Finally, the shadows sunk around his fingers and into the ground. “‘Bout time,” he muttered, and stood, wobbling a bit. She grumbled a smartass comment and walked to the side. 794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr607hxaMN
"Where ya going?" he asked, abruptly changing his tone from irritated to irritating.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr0QskotVf
”Somewhere.” She pulled her hands inside the cloak, turning around.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu8hoUIKYg
”Oh, fascinating. I heard Somewhere’s nice this time of year.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZ6Qfbcwyi
”It is, actually, not too hot, not too cold.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVg77Fgy7Z
”Pretty pleasant in all, not an awful amount of sunshine or rain.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovx16Z1Rvu
”And you know, not too many people either.” 794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZZ76E4W91
Luna looked between the two, then giggled.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgXb6KjGE7
”Excellent living conditions.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovvUzhNnus
”Yes. Not too shabby of a building”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp8jU08929
“Spacious, well-managed.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jQmwrda2h
“What are you two doing?!” Luna finally asked.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjJan02wM0
Cináed glanced at Luna, then with an irritated expression said, “Nothing.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhEyolcDqy
She ran a hand through her tangled hair, then looked at Luna. “Come on.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPKcD3V3JH
794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1zFgCvIZ9
794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VxGvy4Jio
Neoma sat on the edge of the bed, glaring at the male in the room. Cináed glared back, standing against one of the room’s walls. Luna looked between the two. “So….” When they ignored her, Luna bit her lip, sighing, and shrank down to her ocelot form and to jump up next to Neoma. 794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmhzHrcO7h
After another few seconds, Neoma piped up. “Okay.” He raised an eyebrow “Obviously, you’re going to be around for a while.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAABljaBE5w
“Yeah. And?”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJgTVljJY1
“You need to be of some use.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcapeZiM7L
His eyes narrowed. “I don’t NEED to be.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYupBzEJTy
“The faster we’re gone, the faster you’re out of my hair.” He continued glaring, waiting for her to continue. “So, you’re going to be buying stuff from now on.” She smirked a bit. “I mean, imagine what would happen if two girls got caught doing such!”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFtRIan00Y
He gave her a flat look. “You’re kidding.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFZcsx5XCm
“‘Course not, and if we did get caught, all the time I would take to escape.” she made a ‘tch’ sound and shook her head. “Such wasted time it would be!”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx77GTV0BP
“Pretty sure you’re capable of shopping yourself,” he said sourly. “Unless you’ve always had a guy slave to do it for you.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnNLILPHc1
“Of course we can, what do you think these are for?” She gestured to the heavy cloak.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvszjukKmRK
“Then why don’t you use them?”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsJaZGAhNR
“There are some things we can’t buy in cloaks.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FdZu0oG3c
“Like?”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzFAAOCfHR
“For instance, clothing.” Neoma practically growled out that word, but she gave a smartass smile nonetheless. 794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K02oZ78oF
He growled. “Don’t see why it’s that big of a deal,” the shifter muttered. “And even if you don’t want to be caught buying clothes, you can get whatever else yourself.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdF141dBWRn
”Of course I can, but then there’s no fun in tormenting you.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k5ZZTHSc0
”I am not gonna be your slave because you’re too lazy to buy stuff yourself.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJzhhfgPI4
“Nah, I don’t believe in slavery. I do believe in tormenting assholes.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr85zHsKKTw
“… You’re paying for all of this.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhOo2iFFfm
She dug through her pockets and threw a bag of coins at his head. “Naturally.” He caught it quickly and opened it to check the contents before leaving the room with an angry look. She laid back on the bed, looking up at the ceiling.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIwtrO6lY7
794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgkPRS7aTJ
794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3POqlT7tq
794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e6UOKO8qf
Cináed stepped back into the room and promptly dumped the food right on the bed, then threw the money bag at Neoma. She jolted up and glared at him, catching the bag before it hit her. “And a fuck you too.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe0xz5wPr3
”Good enough for you?” he nearly spat.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD7ROojLJ3
Luna looked at the food, then Neoma. “No meat?”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCi64IB7MM
”No meat.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2VYF7QQym
”Oh…”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mveUkkAMl
Cináed huffed and sat down. Neoma threw a fruit at him. “Earth’s fruits are weird,” she commented. He considered throwing it back just to irritate her, but settled with just keeping it. 794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBipjRSliZd
She bit into one, still glaring at him. He glared back, passing it between his hands for a minute before finally taking a bite himself. Luna was taking huge bites and swallowing them whole, except for maybe pressing it to the roof of her mouth once or twice.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19dhjJ9hkm
Luna glared at the fruit, mumbling how a nice rabbit or bird would be better than this. Meanwhile, the other two silently glared across the room. She finally finished her portion, looking at the bread and glaring again.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1EKjzBlyk
”Not a fan of varied diets, huh?” Cináed asked absently into the silence.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3j3whwWst
”No.” She practically growled, gripping onto the bed.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOTJuBr5Rg
”Heh…” Cináed went back to glaring at Neoma, apparently disinterested in the conversation. Neoma stared back, biting into the fruit one last time to finish it. Cináed was still holding his own, not even half eaten, appearing to have forgotten about it. She threw it off to the side to throw away later and glared at him as she went to lay down. Cináed’s eyes followed her, still icy. She rolled over to face the wall, yawning as she did, while Cináed just remained sitting. Luna stared at him for a few seconds, then sunk down to cat form and laid next to Neoma.
794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7B1yLUir1
Cináed had fallen into a light sleep, and was still dozing at sunrise. He woke up just after the sun came up, and glanced around with a yawn to see if the other two were already up. Luna was asleep, curled up in a tiny ball. Neoma on the other hand was over by the window, giving the sun a death glare794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fk8Uhv90U
“You look like it insulted you personally,” he commented.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzGljFxuxr
“It did, it rose and made the moon and stars die away,” she bitterly commented on that, looking back at him.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWgL5uV7bO
He rolled his eyes. “They always come back, so why bother getting irritated over it?”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb01cugJfK
”Because the sun, like you, is an asshole.” Neoma walked over to the bed, pressing her hand to Luna’s furry head.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9sJgRejj3
”Tch…” He rolled his eyes again at her and sat up fully.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH19OsKD3r
Luna lifted her head before sleepily lowering it again. Neoma cracked her knuckles, then got up and grabbed her cloak. “First thing is breakfast, then we get to have a marvelous trip to go get dresses.” She said the sentence in a grumble, and Luna jumped off the bed and shifted to human.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0vjH85hE4
“How great,” Cináed muttered.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyWIkCuV67
“Don’t worry, I’m just as excited as you.” Neoma shrugged up her shoulders and crossed her arms. He sighed, still sitting. “Come on asshat, let’s get this over with.” She made to walk to the door. Luna grinned at him for a moment, then slowly followed.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFC0E9zG8X
He shot a glare at Luna before slowly getting to his feet and walking after the two. Luna strayed behind a bit, staying somewhat near Cinead, but still within reach of Neoma. The shifter was reluctantly following, occasionally glancing at Luna with something between curiosity and a bit of confusion. She was humming softly, and despite practically jumping in her steps, her feet made no noise when hitting the ground.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXivlnSu8t
”So how long is this gonna take?” he asked, shifting his gaze to the back of Neoma’s head.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmfAzL514T
”How the hell should I know?” A few people turned their heads to the girl to glare, but besides that, the small group was ignored.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4966WhV7Y
”Haven’t you done this before?” he asked irritably.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvXlndn0PP
“Where we’re from, almost everyone has some sort of magic.” Luna fell behind to say this in a soft tone, glancing around to make sure no humans heard. “So it’s used for almost everything!”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQQWoQQPby
”Shapeshifters are like that too,” he said, dropping his voice as well. “I don’t shop. At all. Y’know, except when I’m forced to.” He added the last sentence under his breath, almost inaudibly.794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5QoyRDyhb
Neoma nodded slowly, looking ahead for a minute then back at him. “So thievery?”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQ9O8diyfu
“You bet.”794Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfajMvQpDe
Neoma only grinned.
